Netanyahu says his plan is to take control of all of Gaza Strip

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated his intention is to militarily occupy the entirety of the Gaza Strip. In an interview, he explained the goal is to remove Hamas, ensure Israel's security, and then transfer governance to a non-Hamas civilian authority, possibly Arab forces. Netanyahu clarified that Israel does not want to govern Gaza permanently but seeks to establish a security perimeter. The report also notes that over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed and 200 have starved to death since Israel restricted access to the enclave.
